- Laura Boyd interview.
What a great interview with a lovely woman. Candid, moving and fun. Sean has a great way of making you feel part of the conversation. I’m new to him as an interviewer and only familiar with Laura on local tv . It’s amazing what stories people have to tell and an insight into an interesting and inspiring person.

Brazil3 years ago Great podcast. Wide variety of guests and subject matter, doesn't ever come across as anything other than natural conversation but at the same time never descends into the tour of shambles that many unscripted conversations can do. Very well put together and Sean always seems to know his stuff on the subject matter.
